[SOLVED] mlocate: why directory "/run" is not in the PRUNEPATHS?

What is the rationale behind this?

I see that the mlocate default configuration (/etc/updatedb.conf) is not came from source tree [1]. So, I assume that it was added by package maintainer [2]. I know that user can add "/run" directory manually, but is it any reason that I did not know?

tmpfs is in the prunefs array, and as run is tmpfs it is already pruned; adding it to prunepaths would not do anything (for the default arch setup).
